Not a common issue I dont think. I screwed mine up myself lol.While making the grounding kit, I damaged the thread on the bolt, then overtightened the nut and messed up the shape of the loop. I have a new terminal just sitting in my glove box, just need some sunny weather so I can get some work done. (condo life... cant open the hood without some 90 year old yelling at you in the underground parking garage)

I'm curious to know what you think of the Zmotering under-tray. How's the fitment? Does it seem solid? How's the placement of the "oil filter door" and will the oil changes be easier with the door? Etc... Inquiring minds want to know...
Finally changed oil with undertray.
Initial impression was the opening was too close to the oil bolt, however, it worked out. Only after it drained completely did it slightly drip on the tray.

dude I hear you. I have a stack of parts and a list of work I'm dying to do on my G when it warms up...I feel like I've gotten soft over the years though. I used to be out under the car with my thermals and coveralls on when it was minus 5 out but now all of a sudden I have "standards"

Yep. Car is debadged, I've got the new emblem, and I've created a working, repeatable template for placement. All I need now are some 70* temps.

Finally had time for a wash after installing the front splash guards.(while playing with my 1 year old. Remind me never to let him sit in the water while wearing a diaper!) Been riding around with only the rears for months now. I liked the old school hotrod look but the wider front wheels necessitated the install. Hung a tire rack in the garage for the duckfeet this morning as well. Time for a 🍺!

Did something a little different than most. Needed new tires, so I opted to change my wheels as well. 18x8 coupe OEM wheels with 245/45/18 Michelin PSS all around. Wanted a square setup to be able to rotate all 4 tires. Also finally gave her a wash after months. I think she looks pretty good.

Only for specific sizes. Check their website. They're not making the PS4S in all the same sizes as the PSS, so for those sizes not in PS4S, they're still making the PSS. When I called Michelin this is what I was told. The 245/45/18 I just put on are a non-PS4S size, so they should still be making the PSS version of them.

Nice choice on the coupe 18s, especially proper when you're at stock suspension height, well done!

This 7xS sedan got knighted!

Okay, only OEM midnighted...it's the first body mod done to this Graphite Shadow. I've an OEM front spoiler lip, Z RSB, and coilover's on the way. Combined with wheels/tires I've spent enough money in 1 month!
